Any chance we can get space for imgs

Hey I was wondering if the moderators could put up a link where we could post a pic or 2. I always have a problem finding space to host a pic. Can we do that? Maybe limit it so you have to take down the 2 pics you had to put up another 2.

Vote on it!

I think we should be able to upload larger pictures, ones with more bytes...That kind of sux for me, because I like to take high quality pictures and when I want to post them after zipping them I still cant post $hit...Does a registered version of winzip compress files more than the unregistered...If so, someone send it to me...Shyne

You may need to resample your images (make them have fewer pixels) and/or recompress them with a more aggressive setting. High-res pictures don't lend well to the forum format. Most pictures can be reduced to 600 pixels wide or less and still be quite presentable.

Its the res that is the problem. I can shrink them down but I have to really make them tiny because of the pixels. What about paying a yearly due of a few dollars each to get an small amount of space. That would also help to support Tim's board. I don't think many would object to pay a few bucks to get a little web space.

The main problem with hosting images it the bandwidth issue. Right now I believe this board offers a lot of options that many users use. There a plenty of places to host pictures for free even, such places as photopoint, etc....

Plus, the higher the resolution, the more bandwidth which will slow down the site overall plus huge a decent amount of disk space
